Much social talk,【36】from casual conversation to formal【37】speech has an aim other than to

convey information or to achieve agreement on disputed issues. Individuals talk and listen to one【38】, in part simply to enhance sociability--to【39】their enjoyment in being together. Sometimes this is called speech to entertain, but this traditional label has【40】been very satisfactory. Social talk serves a more important function【41】merely to pass time【42】.

A great deal of the【43】and the listening that occurs【44】casual circumstances may seem to be【45】, in the sense that the discourse is relaxed, relatively formless, and expressive of strong and intimate feelings.【46】, such speaking and listening are highly valued. Normal individuals dread being deprived【47】companionship. If required to be【48】for a time, they may mm on the【49】or television, not to learn something,【50】not even to be entertained,【51】to feel the sociability of hearing human speech. The【52】purpose of much speech (including most【53】and many public speeches) is to knit together【54】closely and more pleasantly the ties of【55】.

Happy hours are not necessarily happy nor do they last for an hour, but they have bec

ome a part of the ritual (例行公事) of the office worker and businessman.

On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour.The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven.After the workday is finished, office workers in larger cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and head off for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues.Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, payroll clerks and stock executives.They gather around the bar and gossip about the intrigues (勾心斗角) of office life or matters more personal.This is their oasis (避风港); the place to free themselves from the day's stress at the office.

At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions.They may gossip about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a deadline.In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and may make up a good portion of one's social life.

These happy hours are those late afternoon chances to relax after work and before returning home.Conversations which may begin quietly and with reserve, rise gradually from a chatter to a roar.The oasis quickly fills up with smoke.Loud laughter may cackle in the air as a way to relieve the tensions of the day.The cheerful mood, heightened by the feeling of relief, competes with a TV broadcasting the latest update of CNN evening news or a sports game already in progress.

Health implies more than physical fitness. It also implies mental and emotional well-being

. An angry, frustrated, emotionally21 person in good physical condition is not 22healthy. Mental health, therefore, has much to do23 how a person copes with the world as s/he exists. Many of the factors that 24 physical health also affect mental and emotional well-being.

Having a good self-image means that people have positive25 pictures and good, positive feelings about themselves, about what they are capable26, and about the roles they play.

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)

Before the economy fell apart, it was Britain's society that was supposed to be in terminal decline, especially in the eyes of the Tories. David Cameron, the Conservative Party leader, was wont to bemoan "broken Britain", mired in moral degeneracy, with high rates of teenage pregnancy, low rates of marriage and other less quantifiable breakdowns in the civilised scheme of things.

Such antediluvian worries were raked over again on July 13th when Iain Duncan Smith, a former Tory leader, called for an official endorsement of marriage. Mr Duncan Smith cites several reasons to encourage wedlock, including family stability (married couples are much less likely to split than cohabiting ones ) and healthier children who do better in later life. There was talk of state-run counselling, pro-marriage propaganda in schools and mandatory "cooling-off" periods before divorces. Mr Duncan Smith favours tax breaks for married couples, something that Labour has long refused to endorse.

It is true that marriage is a declining institution. Marriage rates are at their lowest since 1895．But, curiously, those who do marry now stay together for longer. Divorce rates are falling, not rising, and have been for several years. In 2007 11.9 married couples per thousand untied the knot, down from 12.2 the year before and the lowest since 1981．The time that divorcing couples endure each other before flinging back the rings has lengthened too., from 10.1 years in 1981 to 11.7 in 2007．Indifference towards the sacrament of marriage appears strongest among the elderly, not the feckless young. Since 2004, when the overall divorce rate peaked at 14.1 per thousand, over-60s have been the only part of the population whose rates have continued to rise.

There are plenty of competing explanations for the diminishing appeal of divorce, and no easy way to discover which are true. Immigration may have helped, since immigrant families often have more conservative attitudes than the degenerate natives. Accountants and divorce lawyers reckon a string of recent big settlements may have acted as a deterrent (although it could equally have encouraged the poorer partners in financially unequal marriages).

Falling marriage rates and falling divorce rates could be two sides of the same coin, says Kathleen Kiernan, a professor of social policy at York University. The unpopularity of marriage and the relative ease of divorce has left only a hard core of stable couples bound in wedlock. And the rise in the average age at which people get married (now 36 for men and 33 for women) is helping too, since older brides and grooms tend to stay together longer in any case. If so, politicians should be cautious about handing out tax breaks. Even if they work (and Ms Kiernan thinks they would have to be enormous to have much effect), chivvying unmarried couples into wedlock is likely to mean more divorces in the future.

What does "broken Britain" refer to according to the text？

A．Britain is falling apart with several territories becoming independent.

B．The image of Britain is deteriorated in the world.

C．Britain now is suffering from moral degeneracy.

D．Britain is broken away from European Union.

第9题

Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend

to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their life-time, and consider other "friends" to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to "compartmentalize" friendships, having "friends at work" ,"friends on the softball team", "family friends", etc.

Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior. or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything "American" in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesn't matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence.

On the other hand, don't expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.

The general topic of the passage is______.

A．American culture

B．American society

C．Americans' activities

D．Americans' personality
